Where There’s Smoke is a weekly podcast that explores self-development through the filter of current events, pop culture, and experience. We surf the zeitgeist through an array of audio clips, quotes, concepts, and conversations.

In the spirit of The Daily Show and This American Life, we throw everything into an audio centrifuge that separates “what” from “why”. You walk away with insights and actionable solutions to improve your business, relationships, and almost any area of your life.

This is one of Brett and Nick’s
favorite episodes that, sadly, many listeners haven’t heard. So,
while the WTS team takes some time off this week to rest up, please
enjoy this encore presentation of “The Way It Is
(Taste)”.

This episode DOES contain new WTS Digs and Credits -
there's some good stuff here.

Taste. What’s good? What’s bad?
People often come guns blazing with their opinions on things -
whether it be music, movies, art, food, or drink. But where do
these ideas come from and why are they so deeply
ingrained?This
week on Where There’s Smoke we talk taste. Producer Nick Jaworski
joins Brett as co-host this week and shares a story involving
Canada’s top selling recording artist, the United States Air
Force... and soap.

And after exploring many
influences and interactions of taste, we talk to Dr. Robert Woody
from the University of Nebraska. He expands on taste as it relates
to fandom, and teaches us about “burging” and
“corfing”.
